The game is very juicy. It's 4-5 handed, and it's generally 3-4 to the flop with me sitting out. Even so, is it too wishful thinking to think that neither of them have a wheel 1 time in 4?

Once the flop was raised here, every decision felt marginal.

hand 1

flop and turn fine... fold river . yes, i think it's unlikely that one of them don't have the wheel or 46xx more than 1/4 unless they are uberdonks.


hand 2

marginal, but seems fine without more detailed reads.


where was this? FTP?

well, i've actually looked people up when i didn't have notes or stats, and all it takes is one of these types of wtf hands, and i pretty much become a CS with hands like this.

limit sucks... but i love it.




fwiw, i'm starting to play HU/SH LO8. the games are easier to come by at night for me (morning for others), and they seem to be juicy pretty much around the clock. plo8 is still my cash cow, but i hope to spend more time on this.
